Comments on: An Uneasy Feeling http://pajamasmedia.com/victordavishanson/an-uneasy-feeling/ Fri, 27 Nov 2009 23:04:04 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Philip Williamson http://pajamasmedia.com/victordavishanson/an-uneasy-feeling/comment-page-5/#comment-10275 Philip Williamson Wed, 28 Jan 2009 17:11:24 +0000 http://pajamasmedia.com/victordavishanson/?p=564#comment-10275 I can't quite figure out what the Democrats could do that could be worse than what the last 8 years have brought us. Forced labor camps and death squads, maybe? Is that what you fear? I like the article, and agree with many aspects of it. I've been disgusted by "left-wing" (I won't call it Liberal) hypocrisy for 20 years. I also don't believe that hypocrisy is the only evil left to us - I believe in real evil, too. Unflinching, self-satisfied and consistent harm-mongering. But: 1. I don't see the reasoning behind listing every war of conquest or injustice of the last 50 years when talking about Israel's actions in the last few weeks. Are you putting it in historical perspective? Or just changing the subject? 2. I like what Obama said in his speech, and I don't see any evidence here that he's shredded the Constitution, or even intends to. 3. I can't believe that none of the paranoid commenters above took a moment to imagine what might happen to all Bush's executive power when someone they DIDN'T like got elected. Who could possibly have seen that coming? I can’t quite figure out what the Democrats could do that could be worse than what the last 8 years have brought us.

How did that get passed the moderator unless you are a bot. Nah, mine would've made it then. Execute America, am I reading to far into it? I know the cough cuss became popular. 74 f*ck up, now what could that possibly mean? How did that get passed the moderator unless you are a bot. Nah, mine would’ve made it then.

And consider the fact that you never even mentioned our newly-minted Vice President,(the Left's answer to Spiro Agnew). Heck, I could start a blog: "The Collecetd Sayings of Vice President Joe Biden" and have 'em rolling in the aisles. #235 TLM:

Just watched Vid pledge and the only thing remarkable, nay worthy, was the gap toothed one (what's his name, used to be some sort of a sports star or criminal [or both]), say that he Pledges to only refer to himself as an AMRICAN not an african-american! Let's see if that happens in his next car accident or other altercation. Actually this should have come before the other post, but I'm a novice at this. Mea Culpa Great article VDH.

I also am an ex-pat (that means ex-patriot if you look it up in your Websters or whatever leftie dictionary they force you to buy at your University); i.e. it means I left the country and live elsewhere, but I still love my country of birth. I finished Uni (did not graduate) because I had a son and family (after serving my time as one of the last of the Draftees during the Viet Nam conflict(remember that?); and all of my classmates and friends from the good old Hippie years of the sixties said that if Reagan got elected they would leave the country to Canada or whatever. Myself and family drove out of Mass. the day of the inauguration in '81 and have lived overseas since, except for a short stint back in the US. I am a registered Libertarian, and have only voted twice; once in 2004 in order to keep that mongrel Kerry out, (there is no worse person than a Mass. Democrat to be President of the US. [unless an Illinois Dem.]), and the other this year for virtually the same reason. You speak/write very eloquently for a child of your years and I look forward to reading your debates in the future. You will grow up, we all do. Oh, and by the way, especially Mr/Ms/Mrs youth vote.

Apparently, the new definition of bi-partisanship is that the party controlling the White House & Congress calls the shots and the other party goes along. Minority dissent is as important as majority rule to the health of a free society. Or, maybe, the new idea is for the society to only ask "how high ?" at the order to jump.
